Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Duke of Newcastle's face flushed red. He might have felt that he really was a little ridiculous, thinking up such a crappy excuse in order to not waste this money.

Of course Prince Edward had to give the Duke face. After all, they were all members of the royal family, and the others could only be considered as officials of the royal family.

He pressed his hand against the crowd to stop laughing, and then he pulled a letter from his coat pocket on the coatrack.

"Gentlemen! This is a private letter that my friend Xiao Letian gave me before he left London. I can tell everyone, the main content of this letter is that Xiao Letian hopes that we can support Prussia in the future war.

"I think there is something in this letter that will answer your questions about why we want to help Prussia? Why must you help him? "

Opening the letter, Prince Edward read the letter in detail. Everyone present seemed to once again be able to see the wise and farsighted Eastern politician, and sat in front of them. Using his iconic expression with a hint of a mischievous smile, he explained his reasoning to everyone!

Rather than saying that it was a letter, it would be more accurate to say that it was a detailed analysis of Europe's geopolitics by Xiao Letian.

Xiao Letian first asked a question. France and Prussia, which country had the most ambitions? Who is more dangerous? Here, Xiao Letian asked a series of rhetorical questions.

In Crimea, who joined the British against the Russian bear?

In Mexico, who tricked the Habsburg into building a new country?

In the Qing Empire's Subordinate Country, who was the one desperately expanding their influence?

Who was the one leading the war between the Sardinia Kingdom and the Austria?

Who was it that had forcibly cut off Savoy and the Nis from the kingdom of Sardinian?

Who was the person that had been stationed at the Vatican for so long?

Who wanted to annex Luxembourg in 1867? Who was the one who triggered the Luxembourg crisis?

After a series of questions, the faces of everyone present became serious. Duke of Newcastle's face flushed red again, he suddenly felt that he was way too wrong!

Who is it? Who is it? Who was it? Other than Napoleon III, who else could it be?

Even the Queen Victoria had said before, that Napoleon III was a madman, a person who stirred the flames of war all over the world!

In the letter, Xiao Letian very seriously mentioned this point. The ultimate secret of the balance policy of the continent lay in helping the weaker party to challenge the stronger party, and thereby achieving a strategic balance in the entire region.

Wasn't it obvious who was stronger between the France and Prussia?

Immediately after, Xiao Letian asked another series of rhetorical questions.

Are there countless overseas colonies in Prussia?

Does Prussia have a powerful ocean fleet and battleships?

Had Prussia ever taken Moscow in its history?

Would Prussia be able to defeat six European sieges in a row?

Does Prussia have the power to throw troops around the world?

Has Prussia been on an expedition to Asia? Has the expedition gone past the South America? Has there been an expedition to Africa?

Was there really a great military expert in the history of Prussia who could shock the whole world like Napoleon the First?

If the answers to these questions are no, then what is the threat? Who else could Britain help without Prussia? Could it be that you all wish for the most glorious era of the French Army to appear once again?

Hehehe! If the war between Prussia and France ended with the defeat of Prussia, then all the conflicts in the France would be suppressed and all their internal conflicts would be wiped out. III's prestige would rise like the sun in the sky!

At that time, the France would easily annex the entire Southern German Federation, and even the lowlands would be threatened. Don't think that this is a joke, when the time comes, the first people to bear the brunt would be the Netherlands and the Belgium!

Don't forget that Napoleon I led a huge army and conquered Europe, Berlin, Moscow, and all the other countries. Under his leadership, all of them could only tremble, do you really want this to happen again?

Hahaha! I'm afraid that when that time comes, Britain will reopen the anti-French alliance, and you will have to unite the rest of the world and put money into a protracted war!

I would like to ask these clever people in British politics, are you really ready to form an anti-French alliance again? Don't forget, you have formed seven anti-French alliances in history! A whole seven anti-French alliances were able to defeat Napoleon in one go!

Do you want to add a heavy line of ink to the history textbooks? Organizing the eighth anti-French alliance?

You should still remember how terrifying the France is. If Napoleon used this victory to restart the citizens' incomparably strong sense of national pride, then I think that the eighth time against France will be the biggest time!

How many will die in England? How much national power would be consumed? How much money would be spent? You guys go and calculate for yourselves!

Prince Edward read the last part of the letter, and at this moment, his voice was extremely heavy, "Gentlemen, Xiao Letian has already made his deduction at the very end, he hopes that we can prepare our hearts beforehand …"

"Britain is ready to go straight to war! Once Prussia lost, the Eighth Anti - French League was bound to be formed, and Britain would have to send out its brave lads! I've rolled up my sleeves and done it myself! "

"British Empire's glory will be protected by fresh blood! I'm afraid the war... "It's hard to avoid …"

"Hiss …" Everyone in the room sucked in a breath of cold air, the Duke of Newcastle trembled and said, "Could it be … Had the situation become so serious? Impossible … How could this be … How can it be so serious? "

Prince Edward threw the letter into Duke of Newcastle's arms. He pointed to the last few words of the letter and sighed, "Take a look for yourself."

Between the black and white words, Xiao Letian's handwriting was like a sharp sword slicing through the paper!

"Once France wins the Franco-Prussian war, Napoleon III will truly become the first world of Napoleon. The victorious revelry will arouse the fanaticism in the bloodline of the France, waiting until the nationalist emotions soar!"

"The new Great Emperor Napoleon! it will once again appear on the European continent! "

Duke of Newcastle's hand trembled, and the letter fell onto the ground lightly, "How could this happen? We can't allow that to happen! Your Highness, we have to stop this war! "

Everyone looked at him helplessly and shook their heads, "Is there still time? Needless to say, the issue of Spanish inheritance rights and the ownership of land in the west coast of Rhine … It's just that there's no solution! "

Prince Edward patted his shoulder. "My old friend, this is the reason why our group is set up. We have to think of all means to make Prussia win, even if it is a terrible victory, we have to let him hold on!"

"Prussia has withstood... That means Europe can take it! "
